Hi guys,
Just subscribed this forum, basically to know more about Husaberg. I'm currently riding a VOR 503 model 2001, which is doing very well, no problems, I like the bike, but it has also some downsides, no electrical starter, which is sometimes a problem on narrow steep "trials" were we suffer often crashes and the unavoidable problems all 4 strokes have after laying bottom up, and secondly, the factory is not in it's best financial situation. Therefore, I was looking for a similar bike, not japanese nor KTM and automatically one comes to Husaberg.
What stroke me is that the concept of both brands is very similar.
I have been offered a 2001 501 FE is absolute mint condition, some 650 miles used. I would like to know if their are any special things one should have in mind. The area I ride is one of an enormous variety, narrow and very steep and twisty paths with rocks, lose stones and roots of trees, hard dry paths with gravel and stones, mud, rivers we have to cross and also sand (dry river beds through the mountains). Top speed is not important (not Baja kind of use)
I need a bike which is a good nimble climber, with nice bottom torque and good traction. Something I have with the VOR but without the e-starter :roll: Is the 501 FE such a bike?
Thanks for your help
